Agree, everyone should just take the beating that is coming to them on account of something that has nothing to do with them.

When do schools let out in Ferguson and St. Louis?

If we hold negative views about people...
Did you ever consider these negative views to come from actions of those people? "Things" will not get better until the negative actions, as evidenced on tv, newspaper, % of population in prison, this upcoming riot, etc., will conform to a semi-civil society. It is on their shoulders to help themselves.
Sadly, the pendulum has swung too far. Deficit spending will have an end somewhere. Cuts will have to be made. People will riot. Cities will burn. Call it a race war or whatever you will but it will happen.
Something that the race war mongers aren't factoring in is what will the hispanic population do. The reported amount is 17.1% in 2013 ... and how many illegals aren't in that report?

Yeah - they would wait until the buses were off the road.

If you assume it is only 3 million, that's almost a full point. Closer to 10 - 12 million, and you have 3 to 4 points.

The problem is these subhumanized views of black and brown people have been held by white people for hundreds of years. The last "40 years" and the more modern plights of black people doesn't explain why the same biases and attitudes from centuries ago persist to today.
That's something white people need to ask themselves. Why haven't our views on certain groups evolved as quickly as the laws that govern us have?
Respectability politics goes back to the times of slaves. The same banter persisted "do x, y, z and whites will respect you and stop
Being racist towards you." The colored person will do x, y, z, a, b, and c and will still be treated poorly, humiliated, doubted, etc.
At some point, white people are going to have to expect more from their own, emotionally.

SS,I'd love to get into a honest debate with you about this but as you know,my views (my side of the story) isn't tolerated here on this website so i'll just have to stop.

Yeah, white people asking blacks to stop committing almost half of the violent crimes in this country then blaming it on white people is a horrible request.

And Black people are going to have to start accepting responsibility for their decisions, actions, and circumstances instead of blaming other races.
You cant expect one race to change/grow and not hold another to the exact same standards. Thats not equality.

The usual
Response to what I say will be "life isn't fair."
And I thought to myself the other day, damn what low expectations this board can sometimes have for their own. Even when they know more can be done, they resort to the "their is nothing I can do about it " / "I really don't care" banter.
Which is the exact mentality this country DOES not need moving forward.

You make sweeping allegations about white people that are unfair. I have never once judged someone because of their color. I judge people on the type of person they are, white, black, brown, or purple. But, I am still cast into this group of hateful white people who need to check themselves. I'm Native American. My family barely survived the Trail of Tears. We have been mistreated as well. As have Jewish people. And Asian people. Black people are not the only ones who deal with bias and prejudice. If it's unfair for me to throw you in a prejudged category of people simply because you are black, then stop doing it to people simply because they are white.
